Is Buddha Angry?

by Eric Klein

Buddha is angry, overwhelmed, and depressed.

When you look at a statue of the Buddha or the image of a great yogi with their serene smiles, it’s easy to think that they never experienced the same reactive emotions and negative thoughts that swirl around in your mind. But, you’d be wrong.

The Buddhas and yogis faced the same reactive emotions & negative thoughts that you face.

Fear. Anger. Sorrow. Doubt. Overwhelm . . . All of those and more. The sages faced them . . . and faced them . . . and faced them . . . and through persistent compassionate facing (hint: meditation) they discovered something remarkable.

They discovered that every emotion – no matter how challenging – can be healed, transformed, and expressed as life-giving energy.

They discovered how to experience freedom – not by suppressing, defeating, or avoiding emotions -? but by transforming them. They discovered that freedom isn’t an escape from life but that freedom can be realized in the midst of life’s inevitable ups and downs.

But, here’s what made the great sages so great: they developed a method we can use to realize freedom in our lives. This method is based tapping into the source code underlying all emotions.

What is the source code that underlies all emotions?

First of all let’s pause on the term source code. It’s a computer term that refers to program instructions in their original form. The key term is ? original form. Through meditation practice, the sages:

* Traced emotions back to the source code

* Returned emotions back to their original form.

And they discovered something wonderful: reactive emotions are simply life energy . . . running wild.

That’s it. And it’s everything!

Reactivity is life energy running wild.

There’s power, juice, creativity, and aliveness in that wildness. There’s also destruction, chaos, confusion, and suffering.

* If you suppress the emotion – you suppress your life.

* If you let it run wild – it can destroy your well?being and happiness.

The sages discovered that at the heart of every emotion and every thought is radiance, creativity, and wisdom.

At the still, radiant center of every emotion is a pure creative impulse.

When you lose the connection with that pure creative impulse, your life gets tangled up in reactive emotions and conflicting thoughts.

When you reconnect to the source code - to that original creative impulse - reactive emotions are transformed into wisdom and life – enriching action.

The sages realized that the secret of transformation lies in attuning to the source code.

The source code of thought and emotion is a vibrant, wisdom infused, state of consciousness . . . a mantra. This is what the sages discovered! Mantra is the source code - the original form of every emotion and thought.

* There is a life-enrichingmantra pulsing at the heart of every emotion.

* There is a wisdom-bearingmantra resonating at the still center of every thought.

You can connect with this inner resonance through mantra meditation. Mantra meditation attunes your mind to the original source code.

Mantra meditation reconnects you to the life-healing energy and wisdom in the heart of even emotion & every thought.

Through the practice of mantra meditation, you untangle your consciousness from the reactive patterns that create confusion and chaos in your life.

That’s why the Buddha and the sages are smiling. Not because they never experience reactivity - but because they know how to transform reactivity into wisdom & bliss.
